WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to design, implementation and evaluation that holds the key to the successful development of complex human-made systems. It's a very broad discipline, so we aim to distill how the concepts and procedures could be applied to individual projects.
In this course, we explore a framework encapsulating the entire systems engineering discipline, showing where the multitude of associated activities fits within the overall effort and how the activities relate to one another. A new theme is explored in each module using presentations to introduce and synthesize key concepts, examples to simulate authentic contexts, and structured activities to guide your learning.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
· Learn the rationale for Systems Engineering as a formal and systematic discipline
· Learn a structured yet flexible approach to provide a holistic, solid foundation to the successful development of complicated systems.
· Learn various sources of requirements and techniques to capture the required information
· Learn the system life cycle, from design to development, production and management.
· Examine the quality assurance aspects of system design and development
· Learn how the different components of a system interrelate, and how each contributes to a project’s goals and success.
· Learn how to manage requirements traceability.
· Learn how to test and evaluate your system through its design and development.
